Judge Rules Posada Case Will Remain in Texas

HeadlineJun 21, 2005

Now to the case of the anti-Castro Cuban militant Luis Posada Carriles. A judge in Texas announced yesterday that he was denying Posada’s request to have his case moved from El Paso to the right-wing Cuban hotbed of Miami. Posada is wanted in Venezuela for the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airplane that killed 73 people, including the entire Cuban fencing team. He is next set to appear in court on Friday for a bail hearing. The US refuses to hand Posada over to Venezuela despite volumes of evidence that he was involved in the bombing.
